Application of IZMERKON DAK-25 Pressure Sensors in Pasta Production

Industrial production of pasta products is a high-tech process where every stage requires precise control. The quality of the finished product—its shape, taste, and preservation—directly depends on adherence to the recipe and equipment parameters. Modern enterprises solve these tasks through automation and reliable measuring instruments. A particular challenge is organizing reliable measurements in zones of direct contact with the dough, where traditional solutions often prove ineffective.

The Problem with Standard Solutions

At one production facility, a sensor with an open membrane was initially used, installed through an adapter. This design had a significant drawback: dough constantly accumulated in the gaps of the adapter, which over time hardened and blocked the measuring channel. Technologists regularly had to stop the equipment to clean the system, leading to loss of time and raw materials.

Engineering Solution from IZMERKON

Our specialists proposed a fundamentally different approach: a pressure sensor series DAk-25 was integrated directly into the cylinder wall so that the measuring membrane was in direct contact with the product. This solution provided several key advantages:

• Complete elimination of cavities and gaps where dough could accumulate
• Continuous membrane contact with the product, preventing stagnation and hardening
• Maintaining measurement accuracy without the need for regular maintenance

Technological Advantages

The new installation scheme made it possible to ensure:

• Stability of the technological process without unplanned stops
• High accuracy of pressure control during water dosing and dough mixing stages
• Preservation of product quality by maintaining optimal pressing parameters
• Reduction of operating costs for maintaining the measuring system

Special Versions for the Food Industry

The successful implementation experience in pasta production demonstrated the effectiveness of this technical solution. The company “IZMERKON” is ready to manufacture pressure sensors IZMERKON DAk-25 in a special version with the possibility of direct installation into technological equipment for various food industry productions.
